Lewis ranks 5th in the acc in assist-to-turnover ratio...his poor shooting, so far, is limiting his minutes, I would say

on-ball defense is costing Tyler minutes.

(kato likes the kid...just sayin' he has a hard time staying in front of the other guy, especially with refs keeping a keener eye on hand-checking and such)

Tyler averages the same amount of assists(3.8 vs 3.9) as Barber, in less minutes...he averages the same amt of steals(.3 vs .5) in less minutes...same amt of rebounds(1.8 vs 2.4), in less minutes....he has a better assist-to-turnover ratio than Barber(Barber has twice as many turnovers, but not twice as many minutes)....the biggest diff(i.e, the deal-breaker, for the slow thinking) is in the scoring(Lewis averages 35% from the floor, 12.5% from 3 pt...Barber is sitting at 52%/43%)....even the intentionally dense can see where the problem lies, its elementary....if Tyler were scoring, he would be off-setting any short-comings on defense, and get more playing time....the last play I recall him making, in the last game, was stepping in front of the other guy, and causing him to travel(hence, a turnover caused by good defense).....carry on

Tyler played more mins than Cat today. Finished with 6 pts, 7 assists in 26 mins or so. Cat played 16 mins.

Nothing to do with foul trouble eh?

Just proves that both players are needed for this team.

Oh I never said a team doesn&#039;t need a back up PG, and Tyler Lewis fits that bill. What I said is his minutes are dwindling, and you are right if Barber is in foul trouble he will play - but Lewis is not the first option, Barber is. As long as Lewis and his father are happy with a back up role with undetermined minutes then you have your man

looks like Lewis is 10th in the acc for assists per game, even tho he plays significantly less minutes than the rest of the top ten....he is 4th in assist-to-turnover ratio....once he starts shooting better, he will get more pt, and will continue to prove that he got game
